When she shut her phone, I smiled at her and shook my head.

"My, my Alice. Already? Did you kiss on your walk?"

"Sabrina, really?"

I snickered.

"Well, did you?"

She shrugged, "It's something YOU need to find out about."

I took that as a yes. Daphne and Granny bounded down the stairs and Daphne held up a card for us to see.

"Scrooge's Financial and Spiritual Advice." Alice read from the business card. Granny nodded.

"He's an Everafter and I think he can help find the murderer." She said, ushering us down several blocks. We walked up to a door and opened it. Alice wanted to stay outside, like always. But this time, I went in with my family.

We walked out a bit later and saw Alice texting on her phone. She closed it and nodded at us.

"So, who's the killer?"
Granny looked doubtful. "Cobweb."

Alice snorted. "That's funny."

Granny shook her head.

"It's true. Oberon told us."

She cocked her head and tried to raise an eyebrow.

"It's a long story Alice. Let's get back to our hotel shall we? It's getting late and we need to get some sleep. Besides, don't you have somewhere to go tomorrow?" I said, grabbing her arm.

She scowled.

"Thanks for telling the whole world Sabrina!"

Daphne was suddenly upon Alice.

"Where're you going tomorrow?"

Granny nodded.

"I'm also surprised. Where are you going?"

Alice smiled, "Mustardseed asked me to spend tomorrow with him, too. I agreed. He's picking me up outside the hotel at 9:30."

When she turned around, I saw Granny turn to us and give us the thumbs up sign. Moth, who was surprisingly and suspiciously quiet, looked at Alice with an evil grin.

Moth

The next morning I told the old lady that I was spending the day with my mother. Being such an idiot, she let me go and I waited for Alice and my brother to come out. After ten minutes of waiting in the cold, they walked out, their hands dangerously close. I seethed and leaped into the air, following them. Mustardseed unfurled his wings and carried Alice into the air. I strayed not too far, and not too close from them. I heard Mustardseed say something, and Alice's ringing laughter. Soon, after a while of flying, they dropped into a bustling city. In the distance, I saw a huge white house, which the humans called: The White House. I lofted on top of a tree and slowly made my way down. Mustardseed led Alice across the street into a museum that read: Air and Space Museum. As I made my way toward them, I bumped into a man clad in black.

"Move it you mongrel!" I hissed. He turned, his eyes covered with dark sunglasses. Before he could reply, I quickly made my way into the museum. I walked around to see where they were. I caught a few glimpses of the man in black and quickly moved somewhere else. Around 10:30, I finally sat down on a bench and looked around. Suddenly, there was a scream and a huge noise. I stood up to see what was going on. In the distance, I saw my brother on the floor, painfully getting up. Alice had a metal pole in one hand, debris falling around her. The man was circling around her and she always kept her face to him. He said something and she replied, surprisingly calm. They conversed for a while and suddenly, the man jumped for her.

I had no idea Alice was able to do karate stuff.

She rolled out of the way and swung the pole, hitting the man in the stomach. He doubled over and Alice grabbed his head and kneed him a few times. I flinched at the sound of his pained groans. Alice dropped him and said something to him, leaving him with an open glare. People ran around me in circles and I suspected the man used some sort of magic to make the helpless humans do something like that. Alice grabbed Mustardseed by his arms and she pulled him out before the man could respond. When the man got up, I followed him outside, to the back of the building. He ran off, but I stopped him with my voice. I think it's quite seducing.

"I saw you do that to her."

He turned.

"What do you want little kid? I'm not a grandpa; I'm a killer."

I snorted at his response.

"I hate her too."

"Oh, good to know." He turned to walk off.

"And if you'd like to work with me to get rid of her…" I said, my voice trailing off. This obviously would get his attention.

He immediately perked up.

See, what did I tell you?

"I know a whole group of people who'd like to get her."

I smirked at him, my chin up high.

"And where will I find this group?"

"In Maine."

I laughed softly and looked at him.

"Take me there."
